The erosion of impulse control is confused with convenience. People will absolutely seek more and more reduction in impulse control, but this often ends up being quite _inconvenient_. Imagine social media -- it's addicting enough that you waste time on it while also being made more isolated and less happy. But it also requires zero impulse control to use.

Amazon's move here makes it easier to impulse purchases. There certainly could be really legitimate cases where this is convenient (eg: emergency diapers in one hour for your baby!) but I'm very confident that in general more people will just waste more money on crap they don't really need. Which of course, will actually be less convenient; they will lose money, and have more things to organize and manage. But as with the other example, they will not need to exercise impulse control.
